A new version of Atex’s web content management uses Polopoly architecture for what the company says will be its new federation engine.

The 10.6 release’s Content Hub allows editors to search for and publish content stored in external sources, and the release also strengthens traditional integration support with the Apache Camel enterprise service bus as default integration component.

The release completes the move to a project platform based on the Apache Maven project management too, which is combined with Atex plug-ins. New and updated plug-ins include additional publishing queues, and integration with Brightcove, Cakemail and live-coverage photo service Shootitlive.

Web CMS product management vice president Anders Weijnitz says the release provides richer integration and federation of content, and streamlined project deployment times.

“A modern Web CMS has to meet more needs than just bringing content onto the web,” he says. “In today's complex multimedia workflows, multi-source capabilities are just as important as multi-channel publishing.”

Weijnitz says the Content Hub and Camel ESB reflects the need that modern media companies have to bring their content online in a consistent and flexible way. “The ability to work with a unified content model through a single API is the key to adaptive content, contextual reuse and monetisation in different channels,” he says.
